Speaker Placement

Figure 1 provides a general guideline to help you get the best performance from your new system.

Fronts (Left/Right) - MLT-2 Speakers

For the most accurate timbral balance, place your front speakers so that their high-frequency drivers are approximately ear level (see positioning j and k). Measure the distance from the listening area to your speakers. For optimal imaging, place the speakers approximately 3/4 of that distance from each other. MLT-2 speakers can be placed on a shelf, or wall mounted (Fig. 2 on page 7)

Center Speaker - MLT-2 Center Speaker

Place the center speaker (see position l) above or below your TV, whichever position is closer to ear level. Position it flush with the front of the TV to minimize unwanted sound reflections. It should be about the same distance away from the primary listening area as the front speakers. (Some Audio/Video receivers and processors can electronically adjust for differences in distance.) Your center speaker can be placed on top of a TV, on a shelf, or wall mounted (see page 7 for Wall Mounting).

Surround Speakers - MLT-2 Speakers

The surround speakers should be kept well away from the listening area for optimal surround performance.

5.1 Surround Configuration

Position speakers on each side of the listening area, (see position m and n in diagram).
